Based on many years of personal observation; Palladios Children critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio; and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted essays explore the widening ideological schism between todayrsquo;s architects whose core values; identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful lsquo;masterpiecesrsquo;; and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving; ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or lsquo;fieldrsquo;. Clearly written yet expressing complex; evolving ideas; this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory; professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective; Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architectsrsquo; identities; values and education; and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.

Lots of old smoking buildings..interesting history....if thats what you want its a good book which is why the 5 stars. I was hoping to see more of the city and homes that were not burnt. BUT...thats my passion and buying this was an attempt to find more photos of the old town.
